Globalgig is a new data tethering plan, which gives international playboys and playgirls a cheaper way of connecting to mobile data services when overseas. Prices start at a reasonable £15 a month for 1GB of data.
The service has been built by Voiamo, which has partnered with major networks in the UK, US and Australia (here it’s powered by Three). You pay your money, get your little 3G dongle, then fire it up and generate your own, reassuring, Wi-Fi hotspot, freeing you from the immense stress of panicking about how much it’s costing you to refresh Twitter every 45 seconds.
There’s the small matter of a £79 upfront fee for the wireless hotspot dongle itself, then either the £15/1GB option, the choice of paying £25 a month for 3GB of data, or £35 a month if you’re a frequent traveler and/or have the ability to put things like this down on expenses and have someone else pay for it.

How Much Mobile Data Do You Actually Chew Through In a Month?
If someone needed to know how out of their mind EE management really is, this should solve the problem.
4G is around £0.25 for 1gb in Sweden, here it must work out at around £20 – and the faster a data connection is the less it costs to sent data over that network yet we get charged more?
The argument is that we are paying for the upgraded technology, but aren’t they a business that is suppose to absorb those upgrading costs over a 5-10 year plan – despatch companies don’t double the cost of sending a parcel because they updated a fleet of vans, that cost is absorbed into the wider business as an updated fleet means a better service for customers and a more proficient service for themselves.
Greedy little s#&ts that’s what they are.
